1. California’s wildfire moonshot

By Blake Dodge, writer

Last week, California announced the launch of satellites meant to detect wildfires from space, and the program is… fitting.

In one corner, you have tech companies trying to do the Lord’s work: Muon Space built the satellite system; SpaceX hauled it into orbit; and Google made the AI it’ll use to spot fires.

In the other corner, you have the political machine, featuring Gavin’s digs at Trump (re: the admin’s Forest Service cuts, etc.) and a “global nonprofit coalition” (gulps), which is tasked with “aligning” the program’s “collective efforts.”

And somewhere in the middle, you have CAL FIRE, which does a pretty good job, you know, putting out fires when it’s not hamstrung by said political machine.

Listen, this is all great stuff. But I’ll be monitoring the situation from my new apartment in Sacramento, which I’m confident — thanks to the global nonprofit coalition getting those efforts nice and aligned — won’t burn down while I am inside of it.
